is there concrete all around, or is it a Katrina?

I'm off to a 10:00 meeting, so I'll catch up later.  Dave's started many a '72 set with ATYD, so no clue as to which one this might be.

Me too. Some great possibilities in this year. And some great nuggets.

Chicago's Dialogue Parts 1 & 2 in the #2 slot--Chicago when they still had something of a social conscience. Within the next album or two they abandoned that premise entirely (Harry Truman?!? Oh, please.) and went all MOR on us.

I noticed that too, here's the AP feed so far:

SAN FRANCISCO - An explosion injured a woman and set a clothing store on fire Friday in the downtown shopping district.
 
Firefighters and police evacuated several blocks around the store in the Crocker Galleria area, said fire spokesman Peter Howes.

A witness told KCBS radio that a woman was engulfed in flames from the blast which shattered the Ralph Lauren store's windows just before 10 a.m. Another witness said the blast seemed to have originated under the sidewalk.

they have Bowie in common.

But is your misspelling of Vandross as Van Dross a comment on the quality of Luther's music? :wink:

No, just typing too fast to catch my error.  

I'm sure you in fact know the answer, but for those who aren't clear on it, could you be more specific?

More specifically, their careers were to some degree launched by working with Bowie.

I agree, but as it was their first chart single, and they were unknown, I guess Capitol gave up on it too quickly -- it only spent 2 weeks in Billboard, peaking at #86.  They immediately followed-up with "Go All the Way". Of course they only had 4 Top 40 singles, and "Let's Pretend" (a personal fave) only reached #35. And "Tonight" -- good god, how did that one fail?

Listening to the replay, I recognized this set, with its climax of Dave chuckling over "Jungle Fever"; it's been rerun more than once IIRC.

Leading off with the ballad?  What a bizarre tactic.  Capitol clearly dropped the ball there.  (Is it obvious that I'd relish a role in A&R and artist development?)

Funny that you mentioned his "Jungle Fever" giggling, I was noting that last night as well.  Did people actually have sex to the Chakachas?  (P.S. Dave, please add "Je t'aime ... moi non plus" to a '69 setlist, k thx bye)
